[Gambas-user] Bluetooth in Gambas

[Lee McPherson]

This is not exactly a Gambas question, but I thought someone would be 
able to point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to make a Bluetooth handsfree app with Gambas.  I've already 
gotten the serial interface established so that I can dial calls and 
download the phonebook from my cell phone within Gambas.  I'm using 
Ubuntu (hardy) and to create the serial connection, I'm using the 
command line program rfcomm.  (I had to put this program in the sudoers 
file so that I didn't have to use sudo every time I wanted to run it.)

Here's the problem... I haven't been able to find any good documentation 
to establish the 2-way audio link to the cell phone with Bluetooth.  
Other online tutorials explain how to use btsco (an outdated app) to 
connect to Bluetooth headsets, but that doesn't seem to be working for 
me.  I've come across an idea to have linux emulate a bluetooth headset 
so that the phone can find it, but I haven't discovered how to do that.  
Ultimately, I just want to use standard speakers and a mic connected to 
the computer to talk over bluetooth.

Does anyone have ideas?  I'd be extremely grateful!  (if anyone has 
questions about how I've done what I have so far, I'd be glad to answer 
them.)
